I’ve started working with my colleague to help with her achille tendinitis rehab.

She’s teaching many classes and usually do weight training, yoga, Pilates, running and hyrox training. Lots of volume in a week.

Even if she can’t lower the volume that much, we took the time to start with foot mechanics to make her stronger in the future.

The biggest red flag I saw in my assessment was her foot pressure and point of contact in different type of positions.

She’s not ready to do too much calf isolation exercises yet so I programmed her a lot of big toe/ankle/hip dissociation and proprioception.

This is our first training session after the assessment and we can already see a bit of progress.

My new client Alain who’s a recreational tennis player asked me to help him move better.

I’m focusing on teaching him pelvis/femur/trunk dissociation. He has no hip internal rotation and not much abduction (for the moment).

The pulley exercise is helping him with balance and hip coordination. I love this one for a tennis player who’s always moving laterally.

Seated exercise helps him understand the spine rotation movement without pelvis involvement.

Let’s go Alain, Wimbledon next year!

Great session with my client Gilles today who’s been putting effort to come back to the gym after some off seasons 😜

We are focusing on balance, hip flexion, hip extension and shoulders range of motion. He also has some cardiac issues so the resting periods are very important.

There is no age or condition to make yourself better 👌 great work Gilles.

Voici un exercice de dissociation de la région thoracique avec foam roller.

La région thoracique (T1-T12) est celle offrant la plus petite liberté de mouvement de la colonne vertébrale en flexion ainsi qu'en extension. Elle nécessite tout de même d'être entretenu quotidiennement pour permettre une posture plus fonctionnelle.

Du à nos positions généralement plus renfermées comme celle de bureau, il est important de retrouver l'équilibre de notre amplitude en extension thoracique.

Dans cet exercice le foam roller vient agir comme point d'appuie. Le bassin reste bien au sol et les jambes sont relâchées. Je vous conseille de supporter vôtre tête pour permettre de relâcher les muscles du cou.

Vous pouvez monter ou descendre légèrement le foam roller pour comprendre mieux vos points de tensions et améliorer globalement votre mobilité thoracique. N'oublier pas de prendre des grandes respirations au travers de vos séries.

Palof press variations with my good friend Camille at @gymduplateau. Good way to hit the lateral chain!

Hip mobility night with ♥️

I’m finally back at work at ! Hit me up for a session!

No range no gain!
